LIFE IN RECEPTION

At St. Patricks, we follow the scheme Read Write Inc to teach Phonics daily.  Have a look at the documents and video clips at the bottom of the page for more guidance.     

GOING FOR GOALS lead our weekly PE on a Wednesday afternoon   Children will need white t shirts, black shorts or jogging bottoms and black plimsolls.  In order to support your child's independence in school.  Please encourage them to dress and undress themselves at home.  DUE TO THE CURRENT SITUATION CHILDREN WILL NOT BE CHANGING FOR PE.

We are a very healthy classroom.  The children will get a free piece of fruit daily so you do not need to provide any snacks.  Children under 5 will also get a carton of milk.  Once your child turns 5 years old, you can pay should you wish to continue receiving a milk.  We also encourage the children to drink water throughout the day.  Please send your child with a named water bottle each day.   

We capture some of  the children's learning using our online learning journal.  https://tapestryjournal.com/ Please log on and add photos or videos of your children at home.   

Should you have any queries, please feel free to come and speak to us at the end of the day.

Virtues & Values

Our focus for this term is 

Learned and Wise

RE in the Early Years 

At St Patrick’s we teach RE using ‘Learning and Growing as the People of God’.  This document is the curriculum strategy for Religious Education in Catholic Primary Schools in the Archdiocese of Birmingham. It lays out clearly the steps to be taken in RE at each stage of every term in the Nursery and Primary Years. It provides, therefore, the foundations for improved partnership between school, home and parish, a partnership that lies at the heart of Catholic Education.

This term we will be exploring the units on  'People Who Help Us' and 'Advent'.
